The matcha felt really rich in terms of texture, slightly on the sweeter side, but I had the ube foam matcha and banana pudding matcha and they were nice!

Ordered the strawberry matcha latte. Had a bit of a coffee after taste, which I really liked. It’s beautiful and came out quickly. You can taste the quality. Ended up being about $8.91. I believe they have more flavors in the shop (at least for the lattes) and less listed on their website. They also have restrooms for the customer inside! Great little place to study.

Staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations as we evaluated the menu. I got the hot matcha tea, unsweetened. The serving size was larger than expected, but still had body and bold flavor. My wife got the matcha latte float with Ube soft serve. I don’t believe she took a breath, because it was gone QUICK! We’re glad we drove the hour and a half to get here

Great dessert shop! I mostly the shaved ice with soft serve on top. The soft serve is really good, especially the ube and matcha combo. The portions are quite large too. One of my go-to dessert spots! The staff are really nice and hardworking too! The atmosphere is nice, especially the little nook with the couches. Though sometimes it gets crowded and they run out of soft serve :(

I’ve been coming here for a while and recently tried out their mango sticky rice sundae. Honestly not really a fan of the mango ice cream — it was a bit too sour and didn’t taste like mango to me. Also not sure if the toppings on the sundae match the overall flavor. However, their matcha soft serve has always been good, especially mixed with their seasonal flavor of ube. Their shaved ice desserts are also good to share with a small group, although most of the dessert ends up being ice and syrup at the bottom. The toppings within the shaved ice are a good flavor combination. There’s limited parking at the front; I usually like to park in the larger lot in the back. It was pretty busy last time we went, with a line snaking out the door, but seating should be relatively easy to find (some people order to go).
